I've witnessed a lot of historic events in my lifetime. Geraldine Ferraro as the first female vice-presidential nominee, the Challenger Explosion, the fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11. But nothing compares to watching Obama win the presidential election tonight. I'm sure others will put it more eloquently, but his win gives me hope that ours is no longer a country that represents the interests of the wealthy and the white, but that offers equal promise for all. I see all the progress that his been made in our lifetime and how far we have to go to knock down those barriers that still exist and hinder the progress of our society. And I go to bed happy and hopeful that we will once again become a nation that takes care of the least among us.
"Truly, I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to me."

Congrats on this historical moment your country is going through.
Greetings from London.
While I understand the profound implications of this year's victory, I sincerely see no color with our president elect. All I see is a person who is breathing new hope into our weary nation. For me, this is the most remarkable point.
